I like the ideas you are proposing. Trump's thinking on climate must be challenged and no better way to stop a man obsessed with money than to hit him and his supporters in their collective pocket books. I can imagine that the EU would pay a temporary price too. Are they willing?

How can you even use the words "economic nationalism and protectionism". How can you even ever so subtly confirm and add any credibility to a non-existent trade and economic policy? How can you even give a name and a label to dictatorship and cronyism that is based on furthering corruption and destruction of what others from all ends of the political spectrum have attempted to establish on some framework of credibility, legal and social principles? Shame on you and everyone else who is writing from some position of authority that ENABLES the very destruction that you supposedly are condemning. You are writing with forked tongues, and I hazard a guess that you are intelligent enough to know what you are doing. You just don't want to admit it.

A CO2 levy might entail a loss in the short or generational term for the consumer in the form of higher prices due to effectively higher import taxes, to conquer a gain in the long or trans-generational term. Voters likely to agree to that financial burden need to be made to see their long term, or trans-generational interest, e.g. measures decreasing CO2 emissions globally will diminish the pressure of neo-out of africa migrations . It would be interesting to see eco-populism emerging if not eco-neo-nazism, making the EU a "to be green to stay white" kind of phenomenon.
